As disgraced lawyer and convicted killer Alex Murdaugh awaits sentencing for financial crimes that could add another 27 years to his prison term, a lawyer representing a family of victims has revealed plans to deliver a scathing rebuke in court. Murdaugh, once a trusted attorney, faces consequences for his role in a fraudulent scheme connected to the wrongful death settlement of Gloria Satterfield, a former housekeeper who died at his home in 2018.

The attorney representing the victims, who have suffered from Murdaugh’s deceit, shared a preview of the strong message he intends to convey during the sentencing hearing. The lawyer, reflecting the sentiment of the affected family, plans to confront Murdaugh unapologetically.
“I’m going to say that ‘I heard you say that you wrongfully took … no, you didn’t wrongfully take, you stole,'” the attorney expressed. “‘I heard you say you misrepresented. No, you didn’t misrepresent, you lied. Yeah, let’s not sugarcoat what you did. You’re a thief and a liar.'”
The charges against Murdaugh stem from his alleged conspiracy to defraud Gloria Satterfield’s estate and insurance company out of millions of dollars following her tragic death. The lawyer’s intention to use clear and direct language aims to underscore the severity of Murdaugh’s actions and dispel any attempts to downplay the impact of the financial crimes.
The victims, once clients who placed trust in Murdaugh’s legal expertise, now find themselves grappling with the aftermath of his deception. As the legal proceedings unfold, this confrontation serves as an opportunity for those affected to assert their voice and ensure that the true nature of Murdaugh’s actions is acknowledged in the courtroom.
The sentencing hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, is expected to be a pivotal moment where the legal consequences for Murdaugh’s financial crimes will be determined. The lawyer’s forthright approach reflects a commitment to holding the convicted attorney accountable for his actions and seeking justice for the victims who have endured the repercussions of his deceitful conduct.
